Forthcoming Serial Micro Fiction: Ashes Burn

Ashes hold the inner heat of fire, the spark and ember of flame.

Like those ashes, micro fiction holds the spark of a larger story that may grow to a blaze in the mind of a reader.

I've felt it happen when I've read hint and drabble fiction, like the words of comic books but with images from inside my own imagination.

Consider each piece a frame of embers.

Picture the story in your mind.



Ashes Burn is a micro-fiction serial forthcoming on October 6.

Three characters will share their version of events:
 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Originally, each episode was a hint fiction episode of 25 words or fewer, but I expanded on that slightly for a few of the episodes in the hopes of evoking a brighter image.


A note on the blog id name: ashes, embers, and variations on those were already taken. A quick search revealed that aim-uzjon is Proto-Germanic for "ashes burn" an early form of the word "emere" (also taken) which became "embers."

So, welcome to Aim-uzjon aka Ashes Burn.
